John Roskelley and another Everest climber I know used Olympus cameras on 
their eraly trips up to the great peaks of the Himalaya.  I was in Nepal last 
year and saw a huge variety of stuff.  It was nice to see alot of manual 
cameras as most folks were aware of battery issues.
I saw Leica R6's, M's and Nikon FM's, but I saw plenty of good old OM 1's too 
: )
Roskelley uses FM/FM2 now I believe.  
The biggest threat I see to Olympus is  newer lens designs and variety and 
improved optical formulas that threaten Zuiko performance and compactness....
